This series of black and white pieces is a reaction to a mix of time, place, and situation. Winter is a hard time for my head, the cold is very numbing to me. On top of that, the political climate is a huge drag. There's no escape and everything is very uncomfortable and grimy feeling. That's what I have been feeling when making these works.. I tried to not stay in it so long as I always work in color, but there are some days that are harder than others to stay bright.
